Strawbery Banke Museum presents the 2nd Annual Children’s Author Festival on Saturday, November 5 from 11 am to 3 pm. Admission to the event is free. Children 12 and under receive a ticket for free skating at the Museum’s Labrie Family Skate.

The Children’s Author Festival welcomes 20 local children’s book authors and illustrators to read from and sign their books, available for purchase at the event. Games, prizes and book-related activities are all part of the fun.

Children meet the authors and illustrators, participate in making bookmarks and hear stories read aloud. Raffles take place every half hour.
